if you're using firefox browser there is an extension called "stumble upon" (http://www.stumbleupon.com/) , number 9 on this page:
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/?application={ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}

You will understand what "surfing the web" means when you install this extension; can't speak highly enough of it.
